Benedict Benjamin could well be familiar to you.
After all, the musician previously helped drive The Mariner’s Children and Peggy Sue forward, supplying no small degree of wit and warmly poetic experience.
Now working on his own, Benedict Benjamin will release debut solo single 'Thin Skin' on November 6th via Sugarcoat Records (pre-order LINK). An introverted yet inviting experience, words tumble forth in a manner that is both wry and deeply analytical.
Benedict explains: "'Thin Skin' is basically about me wishing I was a bit less of a dick than I am and generally about that gap that exists between who want to be and who know you are. It’s specifically about being a sensitive person that appreciates and values honesty but who isn’t always able to muster a civilised response to the hearing of it. The song’s sort of an apology to those who've pointed out truths to me who I’ve made feel unwelcome."
